The June 1st West Buttress expedition team made a strong push today from Camp 1 up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) to establish a gear cache today. Moving steadily through the lower glacier, the crew took advantage of good weather and solid snow conditions to make efficient progress. This cache will lighten their loads for the next stretch and set them up well for the climb to Camp 2.
The plan is to move up to Camp 2 at 11,000 ft (3,353 m) tomorrow, pending conditions. Spirits are high and the team is working well together. Wylie sends a big shout-out to family and friends back home—feeling strong and grateful as the journey continues upward.
Wylie & Expedition, So happy you’ve made it to Camp 2! Keep up your spirits! Best of luck as you move forward. Sending Warmth, Light & Love.
